Whispers from the Abyss
Souls of the Lost rewards deliberate setup and graveyard investment. Casting it requires an extra cost that asks you to discard a card or sacrifice a permanent, a small toll that converts into board presence because the creature enters with variable stats. In practical play this makes Souls of the Lost a flexible threat in decks that deliberately fill the graveyard or trade resources for late game advantage.
Fathomless descent ties power and toughness to permanents in your graveyard so each sacrificed land or discarded permanent directly scales the creature. Souls of the Lost works well in attrition lines, token trades and sacrifice synergies where you control what goes to the graveyard. The card reads simply and behaves predictably which helps you plan answers and trigger interactions across the Lost Caverns of Ixalan environment.
